Not sure why you think you could be fined for leaving the Navy. If you were active duty military during 2022 it is okay to say so on your tax return. There is not a tax law that says you had to be active duty for the entire calendar year. You entered your W-2 for the pay you received while in the Navy---and that is fine. Thank you for serving!
